ur o y d n i h e b y r e o t m S a n s s e n busi My great grandmother was named Hallie Mae, she left her abusive husband and became a seamstress to support herself and her children. I’ve always admired her and her strength, I couldn’t think of a better person to name my clothing store after.

1) When Covid hit we were forced to change our traveling business model to 100% online only. Failing was not an option! 2) We quickly amped up our online presence, increased online shopping events and boosted posts! 3) If I had to attribute anything to our growth, it would be consistency! That was my word for 2020, and we have grown 289% year to date from last year! Gather a plan, soak up knowledge from others in your industry like a sponge, and be willing to try new things!

Make Your Online Store POP With a Strong Brand Voice Now, there are tons of ways to use branding to make your online store dazzle, but the one area businesses often overlook (and it’s such a shame, really!) is BRAND VOICE. When most of us think about branding, the first thing that pops into our minds is the visual stuff, right? The colors, the logo, the fonts, and all that juicy stuff. Brand voice is the language you use on your website, in your emails, social media posts, and all other customer touchpoints. And it’s a crucial part of your brand identity!

Why? Because brand voice injects personality into your business just as much as your logo, colors, typography, and other branding aspects. Without a strong brand voice, it’s easy to get lost in a world jampacked with marketing messages - and no one wants that! If you want your audience to notice you and build a connection with you - you have to speak to them. Speak their language! Need help defining a brand voice for your biz? Check out this post. If you need help with your website branding, check out our CommentSold and Shopify Brand Design Services!
